Do what you love
Best study view I’ve had before😌
I spent my whole day studying at the library! I loved it, the library gives me so much motivation and i feel like I’m actually getting stuff done
Studying all night long to get the best grades possible
This is an absolutely amazing tip, and will most certainly make student life sooooo sooooo much more achievable, empowering and pleasant. Why would you do this? Here are some reasons:
1. If you write 20% of the time in class and listen 80%, you absorb more of the discussion is class and lectures. And you achieve this by reading the content first and taking notes before class.
2. You can collect teacher cues on what will be on the exam, simply because you are listening and looking at the teacher more, instead of writing all the time. Teachers are always giving hints without knowing it. So if they start repeating themselves like they have a memory issue, or start yelling info like they’ve lost the plot, you know it’s on the exam.
3. By reading the content before class, you already have some background knowledge about the topic. So anything in class will be processed and pushed into your long term memory more effectively.
4. You can ask intelligent questions in class which teachers and lecturers love (well, most of them), and you will look engaged, and be remembered at least. And, you will actually learn more.
5. Classes and lectures will make more sense. At least you will know what is going on, instead of being the cluelessness in the back.
6. By reading and preparing (i.e. doing notes before class), you are already prepared for the exam. No cramming for later!
7. You simply supplement your already written notes with any new info from class. Less stress.
8. Just by being prepared you are ready to kick some serious a.. ! and get those grades.
Hope this tip is helpful. It totally helped me masses.

Simple is beautiful. Complex is ugly. The more you have, the more you want and the more complex things get.
People believe that big business needs to be complicated – but it doesn’t. We make it complicated ourselves because we think that this is what is needed for success. Big doesn’t have to be complex. Often, small and simple is more powerful than big and complex. I am always running into this trap of complexity and I forget how beautiful simple can be. How hard it is to achieve too… My problem is that I often try to accomplish too many things at the same time, in the end – I accomplish nothing, or very little comapred to what I could have if only I had more focus. That is art. To take a complex idea and bring it to life in the simplest possible way.

Hi there! Thank you, you’re so kind *-*
I don’t do bullet journaling because it would require too much time and this would stress me out. My planner is a Moleskine weekly planner and I write all my tasks there. on the left side I do to do lists week by week.
Here is a shot of a typical week:
If I have to write a lot and I don’t have enough space I also put some stick notes I can “pile”.
I tend to keep everything in the same place - my planner - so I also stick notes on previous white pages or I use some nice printables I got on Tumblr or on Pinterest. Here is a shot of my actual courses planner:
If I’m researching a topic I keep track of the readings, take notes and summarize my readouts in Word docs. I usually keep those docs on my Desktop and when I’m done I move everything to a dedicated folder in Documents.
That’s it, I guess! Hope it helped ;)
